Find Your Current Position; Moving Around The Map: Zoom & Cursor Arrow Keys - Lowrance LCX-17M Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

Find Your Current Position

Finding your current position is as simple as turning the unit on.
Under an unobstructed sky, the unit automatically searches for
satellites and calculates its position in approximately one minute or
less.
If for some reason satellite acquisition takes longer, you may be inside
a structure or vehicle or in terrain that is blocking signal reception. To
correct this, be sure you are positioned so the unit's antenna module
has as clear a view of the sky as possible, then turn the unit off and
back on again.
